I get really good results with reblooming by planting it outdoors for the summer only, keeping it indoors during other times.

Do you take the bulb out at that point? or keep the entire pot in cool dark place?

Just compost them and start again next year.

The leaves will recharge the bulb over the summer. You may want to add one or two tablespoon of fertilizer like 10-10-10.

Someone recently gave me some amaryllis bulbs. They have big green leaves growing from them, but have already bloomed. What do I do with them now? I have been googling, but still am a bit confused.
